Software / Kde-pim/pi 2.1.0 Available!

« on: July 03, 2005, 01:05:16 pm »

i have imported my address db - a not so huge 500kb vcf file. i am using KA/Pi for an addressbook.
i have found KA/pi to be cripplingly slow - not only to load, but also to search. A few mins loading, and maybe 15 seconds for a name search.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=76837\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Half a meg of contacts is quite a bit. Jesus.
Loading the app takes a couple of seconds once it has fastloaded (granted, that takes hours, but nobody cares)
Searching takes milliseconds on my Z (search as you type is quite usable). You should disable search as you type and see of that improves it.
While I worked with Z on usability we enable SAYT by default, and it searches all info by default, which is very nice if you want to search fast, but's quite resource-intensive.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess i've been busy a while.

I disabled SAYT, but searches are still taking a long time: eg, "dave", all fields, no SAYT, takes 10 seconds.

Also, I know you say that loading takes a long time only once, for fastloading. However, KA/Pi currently occupies ~45k of my memory - more than 3/4 of it on the 3100. So I find I have to shut it  down to use other Apps.

I love Ko/Pi, but I'm really at a loss as to what to do for contact management. What do others with relatively large address db's do - split them into frequently and infrequently used address books?

Thanks, Tone

hi,

i'm proud & recent owner of a c3000.

i have imported my address db - a not so huge 500kb vcf file. i am using KA/Pi for an addressbook.

i have found KA/pi to be cripplingly slow - not only to load, but also to search. A few mins loading, and maybe 15 seconds for a name search.

does anyone share this problem? has anyone solved it?

I think I have set the internal format to binary; i have no extensions listed.

Thanks,

Tony
